P4C Big Questions!
Barcud Coch have been discussing ‘kindness’ in P4C today (Philosophy For Children
)
Playful Play!
Y5 children have had an amazing few sessions with Ben Webb, learning about ‘Playful Play’ and children’s rights.
They now have the skills to lead play within the playground as ‘Play Leaders’ 🙂
The Daily Mile
Last year we signed up to take part in the ‘Daily Mile’ and Sports Council continue to support and promote daily running this year!
It is really important for us to exercise as much as possible to keep our bodies and minds healthy! Children can run, walk, skip or even hop their way around the playground each day to complete the ‘Daily Mile’ challenge!
Introducing our new Chair and Vice Chair of Sports Council!
Homework
In Aderyn Du and Barcud Coch spelling activity homework will be given out on a TUESDAY, to be returned the following TUESDAY. Minute Maths homework will be given out on a THURSDAY, to be returned the following THURSDAY. In additon to these weekly homework activities we may, on occasions, ask children to complete some problem solving activities or reading comprehension work in order to consoildate learning that has taken place in class.
READING- We require the children to read 4 times a week at home and that an adult signs their reading record each time that they have read. Although many of the children read fluently by the time that they reach Year 5 and Year 6 it is still very important that they read as often as possible, and vary the type of material that they are reading. Reading to an adult at this age is also encouraged in order that unfamiliar vocabulary is highlighted, or the content of a book or article discussed.
